turned into practical jokes. At little din
ner given recently the guests were in con-
tinual roar of laughter. The chocolate
cream candles were stuffed with cotton, the
lemon drops were made of gum Ruaiacum
and the candied almonds were filed with To
basco sauce. Vegetables in covered dishes
were placed on the table with each course
and the guests were asked TO assist in serving
them. In removing the covers live eel, an
enormous bullfrog and a huge lizard from
Lake Ontario were disclosed. All were ex-
tremely lively, The eel slipped within the
